Meet the beers: Flavourly x First Chop Brewing

Posted on 20th August 2019 by Claire

This is our eighth range of collaboration beers brewed in partnership with First Chop. Established in 2012 by life long beer enthusiast and former chef Richard Garner, First Chop Brewing Arm has a passion to make great craft beer. They started in a borrowed microbrewery making 400litres a month but their many awards and the high demand for their beers has meant constant expansion. This year they take delivery of their 3rd brewhouse and they can now make up to 30,000 litres per week in their Salford brewery.

USA

Style: West Coast Session IPA ABV: 4.5% ABV

Inspired by the West Coast of America, USA is a flavour-packed session IPA. Amarillo and Centennial hops fill it with aromas of tropical fruits, then flavours of grapefruit, lemongrass and a touch of pine all appear on the palate before leaving you with a smooth, perfectly bitter finish.

WIN

Style: Mittelfruh Vienna Lager ABV: 4.8% ABV

Inspired by the classic Austrian lager style, WIN is a rich and malty Vienna Lager. Classic German lager hops Mittelfruh, Herkules and Hersbrucker lend plenty of balanced floral flavours to this crisp and easy-drinking lager. The finish has just a little refreshing bite of bitterness.

NZL

Style: New Zealand Ultra Pale ABV: 4.1% ABV

Inspired and powered by the bold flavours of New Zealand hops, this is our fruity Ultra Pale Ale. Gorgeously light in appearance, Wai-ti, Pacific Gem and Taiheke hops offer fruity flavours of grapefruit and apricot, with a lightly peppery bitterness on the finish.
